In emacs, make a normal selection then press 'ctrl-x r k'.  Paste it 
using 'ctrl-x r y'.

In xemacs, there's a nice rectangular selection mode accessible by 
holding 'alt' while selecting, but most window managers trap that 
action.  Ken and I figured out that if you add the following line to 
~/.xemacs/init.el, you can use 'ctrl+alt' instead while selecting:

(global-set-key [(control meta button1)] 'mouse-track-do-rectangle)

Works great.
